On Tuesday, Rep Matt Gaetz held a field hearing about January 6 at the Capitol to scrutinize the day's investigation and aftermath.
"So much of our work has uncovered things that initially were deemed conspiracy theories but we now have sworn evidence to prove."
The first witness at the J6 field hearing was Jeffrey Clark, a former Trump official who called the formation of the January 6 Committee "lawless."
He called the hearings "carefully scripted by Hollywood."
He condemns the J6 committee for having left much of its evidence unreleased.
The second witness at the J6 Field Hearing was Ed Martin, who led the first Stop the Steal rally News2Share filmed on November 5, 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esrjaGyQQ-8&list=PL7JfBDMldJli_tC7MEDjlxMI4pa-ZzUms).
He is now representing three January 6 defendants, who he says are "targeted, lied about in the press."
He says due process and speedy trial are being delayed in these cases.
"People that should have been dealt with as if they vandalized a car at a football game or trespassed on property at a school were charged with all those misdemeanors and then they added a charge called 'obstruction of an official proceeding.'"
"It's absolutely improper, it's never been charged- it was never intended for a proceeding that's gaveled in or gaveled out. It was witness tampering. It's a lie by the DOJ in federal court."
Testifying next was Geri Perna, whose nephew Matthew Perna hanged himself ahead of sentencing for his January 6 charges.
She says he was inconsolable during their final conversation on the phone.
"He had struggled from the start to live with shame and the damage to his beloved family and many friends caused by not by guilt, but those criminalizing the First Amendment."
Walk Away founder Brandon Straka described his January 6 experience. He was initially charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor, but ultimately pled down to a misdemeanor.
He describes being evicted from his apartment and deplatformed from digital services in the aftermath.
Sarah McAbee testified about her husband Ronald Colton McAbee, a sheriff's deputy charged with fighting police on January 6.
She says he's been moved several times from jail to jail, and has had week-long stretches of solitary confinement.
She says a guard emptied a can of mace into his face for refusing to wear a mask.
She says that "During the events of January 6, Colton acted heroically to aid an officer in distress, and try to save Rosanne Boyland's life."
Former underwear model John Strand, who is soon to begin a 32 month prison sentence for January 6, says he was there only as security for Simone Gold, who herself has served 60 days.
Following his conviction at trial, the judge apparently condemned him over public comments he had made, which he testifies now is "the textbook definition of fascism."
A point of difference between some participants in the J6 Field Hearing was over whether the full January 6 footage should be released to the public.
Jeffrey Clark says every defendant should get all the evidence. "Initially I had the view that all of it should be put out so that it could be crowdsourced, much like Wikileaks revelations were."
He says now that "there is a valid concern" about citizen sleuth groups like Sedition Hunters using the material if it were fully released.
Ed Martin says that the current system for lawyers to review footage is "burdensome."
"I differ with the general here. I think at a certain point, the Sedition Hunters are gonna find us anyway. Pelosi already gave the tapes to everybody anyway, or the FBI will give it to them tomorrow."
"Let's let it out there, and let's let the public figure out who the people are, and we'll know every Ray Epps from here to Long Beach, California and back and justice will be served."
"If they can keep hiding, we'll never know who did what."
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says "January 6 tapes, if they were to get out - and I support releasing them - I've said it all along. But if they do get out, Sedition Hunters will come."
"I know that everybody can look at it and say 'we all know who everyone is now' but at the same time, that means that the Department of Justice will be coming after more people."
"I do not want to see anyone end up like Matthew Perna."
On the full release of the J6 tapes, Congressman Paul Gosar says "A picture is worth a thousand words."
"They're all going to come after us regardless, so it seems to me like we aught to be making this big push and maybe turn the tide."
"The videotapes gotta come out."

A protest group led by Trump-supporter Jovi Val entitled "Speak English Please" took place Saturday afternoon in front of New York's Trump Tower. A dissenting pro-Trump counter-protest branding itself as a "MAGA Unity Rally" took place across the street.
"Free Speech Rally to your left, PC (politically correct) rally to your right," read one "Speak English Please" protester's sign standing between the two groups.
"This is a beautiful country and why not have a national language? We're not saying it's the only language to speak. We're saying it should be the priority to learn English in America!" Val told News2Share.
Protesters wearing "Make America Great Again" caps yelled at Val as he approached their event. "You're a filthy liar! We're here to support President Trump!" one yelled at him.
"You're yelling at me in English," Val replied.
The event wasn't without non-Trump-supporting counter-protesters as well. As the groups chanted, one woman walked by with a sign reading "Caging children? Sig Heil President Pussy."
"Build that wall! Build that wall!" the Unity Rally chanted.
"God gives us Jesus, and now God gives us Donald J Trump. That's two for two. Who's next? Maybe Barron Trump might be the third messiah," said one "Speak English Please" participant to passerby's.
"I'm a Nazi, and I order you to the concentration camps," the same participant said to someone who called him a "Nazi" in passing. "Oh, you're not doing it? I must not be a Nazi then, jackass."
After rallying for about two hours outside Trump Tower, "Speak English Please" marched to the Trump International Hotel, a bit less than a mile away. As they arrived, a number of more heated arguments began.
"This is the first nigga they're gonna put in the oven," said one angry New Yorker, pointing at a "Speak English Please" participant with a "Jews for Trump" sign.
"Your hats are like swastikas. Your hats are like KKK," another said, referring to the "Make America Great Again" caps.

At the conclusion of Monday's "F*** The Police" march in Washington DC, protesters found themselves began to fight with a man in a wheelchair who had been with the protests a majority of the time.
It was alleged that the man had groped a female protester.
The man pulled out a knife and began chasing after and slashing at people in the area, before holding the knife to his own throat.
Despite having fought with him, the protesters begged police, "Don't shoot him!"
MPD arrived and deployed a taser against the man, rendering him temporarily still or unconscious. Bicycle units then cleared the sidewalk, leading to minor confrontations with protesters.
An ambulance arrived and the man was loaded in. The remaining protesters then dispersed.

More than 70 activists including an interfaith coalition of clergy with the Poor People's Campaign were arrested on Pennsylvania Avenue near the Capitol Monday afternoon in a protest for wage, voting, and immigration issues faced by low-income workers.
"We're not violent," said Rev. Dr. William Barber to Capitol Police's Lt. Ryan Schauf.
Rev. Barber implored him not to send activists to jail amidst pandemic.
Lt. Schauf said those with enough arrest history (as Rev. Barber has) would go to jail.
Ultimately, the 70+ activists including Poor People's Campaign Co-Chair Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis were arrested and processed on-site at the Capitol.
The group is expected to return Tuesday for a direct action specifically targeting Senator Manchin.
